I tend to write about blogging a lot on this blog. Probably because I like it, I don’t think I’m awful at it and way deep down under marketing content Lauren… I love to educate. My degree is in English Education ya know! Lucky y’all 🙂 I think when you write a blog, it’s easy to get lost in it. It’s easy to feel superior because you have an audience of readers that respect you enough to read your blog….
Simon is still not quite right. I’m just a few bad rides away from the crazy train… hell who am I kidding – I’m probably already on the crazy train. I may have been born on the cray train. Here’s the timeline: Thursday, January 30th: Simon comes out stiff, works out of it Friday, January 31st: Simon comes out stiffer, works out of it but I give him the night off Saturday, February 1st: Simon looks great in the AM,…
I’ve been reading An Eventful Life for a while, but had no idea about the amazing “before and after” behind Amanda’s eventing partner, Tristan. I first met Tristan in the summer of 2005. I had graduated from college and had a job lined up for the fall, and was staying with family at working at a convenience store during the summer before. The job didn’t pay enough for lessons, so I started volunteering at a local rescue: Ever After Mustang…
In an attempt to move my horse from NQR land to “feeling like a million bucks’ land, I had the chiro come out last week. Last time Simon had a chiro adjustment, I wasn’t able to be there and wasn’t sure I felt a huge difference afterwards. I decided to give chiro another chance before I made a firm opinion on whether it was worth the money or not, and wanted to be there to witness and ask questions. The…
This entire post is full of first world problems. I have nothing legitimate to complain about, and I realize this. Compared to some people’s problems, I am oh so lucky at the moment. That being said, I’m going to whine a little bit. While 2014 certainly could be worse, it hasn’t exactly gotten off on the right foot. Dog drama abounds in my house. We are almost two weeks post BT’s enucleation and I still haven’t been able to breathe easy…
Even though they might not always show it, our horses do love us. While I wouldn’t expect to get a bouquet of roses from them… you may just get a card or two 🙂 Happy Valentines day everyone! I hope you have a day filled with love whether it’s with your horse or your significant other… lots of kisses and hugs 🙂
Hunter derbies make my little heart go pitter patter. I love to watch them, read about them, take pictures of them and hopefully soon… ride in one. Large or small I don’t care, I am pro derby! Even though I adore them, I know enough about derbies to be dangerous. Not totally clueless, but it’s not like I’ve campaigned in the derby ring for a season. In lieu of an “informative” post from someone who’s definitely not an expert, I…
I became obsessed with half pads around 2007 when they were all the rage for hunter shows. Everyone who was anyone was showing with just a half pad, and it was different! I liked different. Even though I show in a fitted pad these days, I’m still very pro half pad. I’ve owned quite a few of them, and now I’m going to tell you my 2 cents about each. Get excited. Cheapy no-name foam half pad I found at…
